Runas script error

[Guest kbryant2]

got a error testing the script before compiling. Is it the gear511.exe file it can not find or something else?:

Line 13 (file "c:\documents and settings\kbryant2\my documents\runsoftwareasadmin.au3"):

$val=runwait($runprogram, $runpath, @sw_maximize

Error: unable to execute external program.

the system can not find the specified file.

Text of au3 script file executed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dim $UserName, $DomainName, $Password, $RunProgram, $RunPath

$UserName = "administrator"

$DomainName = "unit-02"

$Password = "*********"

$RunProgram = "Gear511.exe"

$RunPath = "C:\Program Files\NETGEAR\WG511SCU\Utility"

RunAsSet ( $UserName, $DomainName, $Password )

$val = RunWait($RunProgram, $RunPath, @SW_MAXIMIZE)

try and see if that works:

$val = RunWait($RunPath & "\" & $RunProgram, $RunPath, @SW_MAXIMIZE)

In your code, $RunProgram must contain the full path of the exe unless it is being run from the same directory as the script was executed from. You can't just set the working path and expect it to find your exe without telling it where to look.

[Edit]: Programs that are in your %PATH% would be the exception to this rule. I believe you can run these from anywhere with the Run or RunWait functions.

Thanks that worked. After compiling I put the exe in the all users startup folder. Interestingly I get 2 gear511.exe processes running unless I logon with the admin account used in the script runas command.

Does autoit have the ability to close a application in the systray?

Does autoit have the ability to close a application in the systray?

Yes, but it's always better to close an application by another way if possable. If you can send a switch to the program you wish to close, or detect it's hidden window, you should close it this way.

You can use the PixelChecksum function to find a specific image. It gets more complicated if the tray hides inactive icons, because excatally where you have to click to open the tray fully changes as icons are hidden. With a little bit of playing around you should be able to detect a small part of the image you wish to click on, and then close it from the context menu.
